I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I really felt sorry for Jasmine last night. Talking about how happy she was that some people (ie Julie) in the house liked her, not knowing that Julie had been complaining about having to spend two nights in a row with the "loony".

Me too! That was the last time the UK gave Ireland 12 points before Jedward.

I seem to have dumped all that in the wrong thread, so will now copy it over to the general discussion thread instead

This is a bit of a deep area to dwell into but does anyone else on here suffer from depression? I have bipolar disorder myself but this is the first time I've been open about it to you guys, only I've felt like rubbish practically all evening and have no idea how long it's going to last. Just have a lot of things on my mind right now and have no desire to sort things out because I feel so drained of energy and enthusiasm.

I know how you feel kinda I've never been diagnosed or been the doctors over it but often feel depressed but it comes and goes. I feel like my life has stalled, sometimes it gets too much and I don't even want to get out of bed in the mornings specially on days I have to be at the job centre (they really are soulless places where everyone is a number and a product and no one cares about feelings its all about facts and figures and finding new ways to sanction you). I'm still unemployed after countless interviews, applications and stuff and I just feel like giving up trying most of the time because I feel its going no where anyway. Being unemployed sucks and should be avoided at all costs, I'm thinking of volunteering somewhere would love to do something with animals but there's not a lot round here so will probably end up stacking shelves in a charity shop or something but will be better than nothing.

I work in a charity shop for the Samaritans, it's actually a lovely atmosphere. All the people I work with are really friendly and there is no uniform so I can wear whatever I like and just be myself. Working at Waitrose just leaves me feeling so empty and soulless on the inside where as volunteering at a charity shop makes me feel warm on the inside. Even though I don't get paid for it I like to know that the money goes to a good cause.

I personally don't have bipolar, but know a fair bit about it and unipolar depression (I had unipolar for about 3 years a little while ago, which was just awful). It seemed, at least for me, like I had no prospects, no life and no support, when in fact, I had all three and just didn't grasp it - I really did lose contact with reality for a while. The worst thing though was how drained of enthusiasm and energy I felt, I didn't go to college for some days because I just couldn't find the gusto to do anything.

Saying that, I have come out of it a better person - by a combination of counselling, talking with friends, finding new friends, doing things I enjoyed instead of being slightly embarrassed by them (hello Eurovision!) and putting everything into perspective. And I know it seems really useless to say that, because I rolled my eyes at people who said 'just put things into perspective!', but when I talked to people it (very) slowly started to fit in with my thoughts, and in the end, I changed them. I wasn't overnight, it was hard and slow, but it happened.

What my advice to you would be what a female nurse says at the beginning of every episode of 24 Hours in A&E, which I have up in my bedroom wall, to ground me, and to think that life could be so much worse - "the moment that you're in resus, and you're really sick, and all you can think about is 'am I going to live, am I going to die', silly things go out of the window, and ultimately what's important is realised, that you're loved, and you're not alone".

Will have to see my advisor next week but I think it will be good for me anyway

So day one in Copenhagen and I got half-robbed in a train station. Some turd asked me the time whilst helping an American lady figure out the stupidly confusing train info, I told him, he then said "are you English?" I said yes, he then shook my hand and suddenly pulled me in for a hug and then sort of wrapped his leg round mine or something and I tried to push away. When he moved away I immediately checked my pocket knowing that something was wrong and sure enough my iPod was gone. But for whatever reason he gave it back to me. Shook me right up though. I'm usually very careful when it comes to stuff like this but for some reason it happened and it totally ruined my night.

I'm now sat in te hotel room watching Undercover Boss UK on SVT and trying to forget the sorry situation with a cider.

That's awful - those types of things always freak me out. At least they gave it you back, although I guess it's little help.

I had someone take my Ray Bans on a train once - little did they know they were fake and I got them at Camden Market for £3 .

Also - SVT in Denmark?! I know Copenhagen's near Malmo but didn't expect that.

Yes, all the SVT channels and TV4! It is a hotel though and there a few German channels and plenty of English news channels. I can get a train to Malmo from the station round the corner! Definitely intending on making use of that in the next few days!

I remember on a school trip we took to Paris we went around a market near Montmartre and a guy forced a bracelet onto one of our girls and made her pay £30 for it. Luckily one of our teachers was having none of it and managed to get the money back.

If it was in Glasgow instead of Barcelona then he might have been happier to have taken you up on that offer of being battered.


I'll get my coat.

That sounds pretty scary Gotterz.
He was probably messing with you, at least he gave the iPod back to you but I'd say that's a pretty weird thing he did.

I've never been a victim of a robbery or mugging *touch wood* but I've always been taught to scream as loud as I can if anyone touches me, I personally would have slapped the guy if he grabbed me like that.
